Port of Port Angeles
Port of Port Angeles commissioners will hold a 2018 budget and tax levy hearing Monday as part of their regular business meeting.
The meeting will begin with the hearing at 9 a.m. in the meeting room at the port administrative building, 338 W. First St., Port Angeles.
The 2018 operating budget is projected to be $10.6 million, similar to the projected year-end 2017 budget and 17 percent more than projected and buoyed largely by a strong log export market, Executive Director Karen Goschen said in her budget message.
Expenses for 2018 are budgeted at $8.6 million, higher than 2017 due to Terminal 3 dredging and an increase in salaries and positions.
Commissioners have said they favor banking the allowed 1 percent 2018 levy increase instead of imposing it, resulting in $63,000 of banked levy capacity.
Work session items include:
A public comment session on the removal of 165 creosote-covered piles at the former Dungeness Wharf.
A discussion of value-engineering proposals — identified cost-saving measures — for the Marine Trades Industrial Park wash-down facility.
